Andrew Shoots VS Don't SHoot Himself ENDINGS: th-cam.com/video/s6KT_Hu2D-4/w-d-xo.html
Around the 24 minute mark, there are like trait checks when theyre about to die, can you show what happens if you manage to acquire those traits? Thanks a lot
@@robinhahn5942 im not very sure but, I think when you aquire those traits they die
@@robinhahn5942 Oh wait, I just read a comment that said that when you acquire those traits the character doesnt dies
Thats 1000 gifted subs right there
Why is Tabitha on a pyre instead of being hanged in your game. In mine she's a floating corpse with a noose. Is this some sort of family friendly version youre playing?
I like how the goal is to find the bus driver, and it’s basically telling him to find himself and reconcile.
Maybe the real bus driver was the friends we made up along the way
@@mialopi2010 no
@@mialopi2010 so true
bus driver be like dude where is this guy like I wish he was just in front of me
And the fact that his family were passengers on the bus is also kind of a metaphor of him finally putting his family to rest.
Everyone coming here after their favorite streamers finish the game.
I finished it yesterday, Messed me up a little
I’m One of them 🤣
H2O 🐐
You're 100% right sir
What is the matter of bus driver it went out of my head btw my favourite gamer has no completed the game :D
That officer is so nice, lmao. He can see that he’s got problems going on, and he treats him nicely regardless ;-;
Finally someone with my profile pic
@Death Wish Diaries because a lot of cops love to use their authority to abuse people
@Death Wish Diaries I agree with you, if you were a cop with an actual human brain, you would know how to treat people with clear mental instability; act nice, not be an asshole to a person who has problems with his head.
@@Classof-wf5jw you are low IQ most cop are good people
If only all cops were like this.
I just realized the background characters in the court scene are faceless. A good picture of how andrew percives other people.
Or they were supplied to Andrew's imagination from the mannequins in the museum. Those mannequins were faceless but dressed in the Puritan attire, too. While this might also be a metaphor for how Andrew perceives people, I think it might have been supplied by the museum, which he would have known and probably seen as a kid in Little Hope.
And the fact that his family died in the same manner as some of the Witch Trial victims likely caused the Witch Trial hallucinations.
They represent all the people who believed he was directly responsible for the fire accident despite not knowing anything about the case or him. Hence why they're faceless, Andrew never knew any of them
I think it's a great and subtle way of telling us that only a few central characters in the 'witch trials' actually meant something. Only the people who had been haunting Anthony had faces; everyone else was just set dressing and props to use in his little scenes.
What happens if the entire family survives at the end but you choose to blame the doll and not the reverend (as well as not piss of vince) ?
I think it's meant to be a clue, actually.
"You guys are getting paid?!"
best reference
a little fun fact: If you search "eyebrow guy" on Google, it leads to this actor.
HaHhahaha
Lol when does he say that?
@@xselmani3843 no that’s a meme format with the actor for Andrew
Honestly, his story is just depressing as hell. Due to the trauma of his family’s death, most likely gained schizophrenia and possible DID too. The accident with the concussion + the fact that he returned to his home place most likely triggered severe hallucinations and such. This is the reality of some people in the world and its really sad af
Thats true.. :(
Yeah, the true horror of this game is how it mirrors reality a bit :( these are real things that happen to real people
He’s too old to develop DID
It really shocked me the fact that this was all in his head and everything he went through was just in his mind nothing was real in the whole thing with Mary in the witch trials I’m pretty sure that was an option for him to believe the doll for the fire or for him to seek forgiveness for her actions
@@beatricemcgarvey1198 D.I.D. can develop through trauma regardless of age. and especially since he must have been 17-19 around the time his entire family was murdered the D.I.D must have started then, and carried through his life. and areas or threats that would spark the trauma could be deadly and often very realistic.
The fact that he was taking to himself all this time and trying to save ppl that weren’t even there is heartbreaking.
Stg bro, that shit is painful
@@solitary2 Its funny ha ha
I’m the 1000 like :) but it honestly is very true :(
I feel so bad for Anthony. He lost his family and has to deal with possibly losing them again.
I agree,It was very heartbreaking. I even cried when i finished the game
I know a lot of people didn't like the twist of it being all in his head, but i like it. It's the story of a man dealing with the trauma and guilt from an accident that killed his whole family. Him visiting his home town forced him to face his guilts
I 100% agree, I love it when horror takes a psychological turn
This is an example of how it can be done right.
The witch trials were filler then?
There was great potential but the ending is one of the worst ever attempted in anything they were going for the inside of his head thing there should have been more parallels the only one was his sisters boyfriend (forgot his name) cool concept with reincarnation and good characters ruined by the ending
Yeh I feel like this game is cool in that way
I’m not surprised considering all their games deal with mental illness sugar coated as horror
tldw : these endings are all depressing, with or without brutal deaths.
fucking facts
Tldw? What does that mean?
@@inotagirl3149 too long; didn’t watch
@@etegiwg oh thanks
Yeah
The entire game is like "????" Then the end is like.... "oh that makes sense i guess"
Exactly this
You have all the puzzle pieces, and you got a few of them pieces together
Then "I'm sorry I put you all through this" hits, and in the next 10 seconds when possibly dead people start talking (such as Daniel if he died) it all flies together, but it's still missing something, then Andrew is revealed to be the Bus Driver and the Bus Driver Anthony, and in that moment EVERYTHING clicks
I'm still super confused with some of these endings
I dont get why its confusing, theres plenty of movies with similar premises. Anthony was the bus driver, he has a severe mental disorder due to guilt and grief that is exacerbated by being redirected through his home town, and his feelings manifested in two storylines: the college kids and the witch trials (probably learned about in his education). Nobody and nothing in the story actually exists in the reality of the game except Anthony, Vince, and the cop.
@@BurningFyre he was reading a book at the start about witch trials which is probably how he knew
I'll accept any ending, as long as Carver pays. He definitely assaulted Mary.
That was the Decision I made in the first Playthrough ;)
I dont like the kid. I enjoyed the ending were she got burned, sadly not the best with all the others getting killed afterwards.
@@aedenpik yeah i don't like her either. everyones forgetting that she was smirking when tanya died not to mention she's literally the reason why the house burned in the first place
@@agentcole6081 i think it was a red herring to make you think she is evil but the whole game center around the idea that "remember she is just a child"
@@mr-anfosh827 idgaf if she is a child she killed everyone that she loved in real life and in andrews imagination so don't feed me that bullshit
Although the game doesn't explain it, my interpretation of the evil entity with Megan is this: the mum makes a point of saying Megan keeps being held back by a priest called Carver - I think he was sexually abusing her and she ended up lashing out at her family for not seeing it. The demon was her inner demon.
This is why in the past Mary is used by the priest and has a secret she shares with him.
Saving Mary from the priest is symbolic of Anthony putting the fire blame on the real life priest rather than Megan.
I am unsure of Megan. I believe she was most likely abused by Carver and carried that demon with her. Clue #50 on the grid shows that the key Megan "used" to lock doors was still in the clock and never removed at the time of the fire. I don't believe she locked the doors as the house was old and it was freezing and shifting.
Same here. The second the mom said she was being held back I got a sick feeling
Carver isnt a priest in the 70s timeline hes the mayor the priest is carson
@@alexisbuffon8431 are you sure? I could’ve sworn Megan was wearing a catholic school uniform- and why would the mayor hold her back after class?
@@kate7896 carver was the guy electing for mayor. His poster was outside the factory.
The game is the mind of Andrew. The fog is a cloudy mind. Andrew is remembering the deaths. Either Andrew continues to blame himself or he accepts the tragedy was out of his hands by forgiving himself.
Dude this is very similar to the movie Identity... I came to the conclusion because of the true ending
oshit so thats why they told us to forgive mary and why mary ressembles megan. Damn this is even more darker now
Is it that if you let mary die somehow, then Andrew goes to jail? Or why
what about the little girl's demon friend at the beginning? Were there no supernatrual elements? Was it all psychological? What about the abuse, who was abusing her?
@@pfl95 the demon figure was the priest. She had been molested by the priest and she sees the priest as her demon. She had been abused both physically and mentally, thats why she went crazy
The judge is Asian - which is strange because obviously that town wouldn't have any Asians. So why is he Asian? He is the PASSERBY in the beginning that sees Anthony with the matches and says, "What have you done?" Anthony was judged by him and he probably spread rumors ... that is why he is the judge in the hallucinations and greatly played into his guilt and in some endings causes Vince to think he murdered the whole family in arson.
Judge and whole witch trial thing wasn't real. It was all in Anthony's head to cope with the fact that his family died and Mary = Meghan. Saving her from being burned alive = forgiving Meghan for what she did all those years ago.
@@missionaryofstolas-3168 yes he wasn’t real but Anthony used real people he knew in his imagination that’s why the judge was even able to be Asian in a town like that
@@day1asmr501 Yep. Judge was asian = the same person who caught Anthony outside his house with pack of matches and he called a police and ruined Anthony's life that way. Same goes in the witch trials - he does sentence people and how their lives would end.
Someone gotta be serving boba during those times 😂
@@nickygrubs4877 is that racist? I don’t even know anymore
So apparently most people don’t understand why the rest of the “characters” randomly die by the hands of their demons.
Well it’s because they were killed by their metaphorical demons.
When the ghouls execute each of their counterparts, there’s multiple negative traits that appear in their eyes. Throughout the course of the game, every decision and dialogue is related to one of two traits: a negative and a positive. If you select the same negative trait choice multiple times, then you lock that trait into their character, hence the demons.
What’s even more poetic is that these were all traits that Daniel saw in his family and related them into the personas that he experienced. This is a really sad story about a schizophrenic man who’s still traumatized about his past in which he believes he either: condemned his whole family to death or helped push his sister to murder everyone. And judging by his demeanor at the end, he is slowly remembering that he isn’t an 18 year old college student. He’s alone.
Wait u mean Andrew/bus river,
not Daniel right?
omg u are so clever
no shit dude, I agree with ya
yo arthur, how's heaven?
Goodness gracious, this is sad as hell! *saves Mary* "But I didn't save you" This is already hinting at the unorthodox depressing ending..
Yep. That one line is what made me go "hold on just a damn minute..."
Turns out I was semi-right about the ending before I even saw it.
I love how this comment is like "This line from the last 20 minutes of the game TOTALLY was hinting at the ending!" like, lady, this WAS the ending. There was no hinting left to do.
Some people thought it meant "I didn't save you Abraham did" but now no. Also even more emotional because even if you try to save her as Anthony she dies.
You know what? Normally I'm not a fan of "it was all in your head" twists, but this one actually grew on me. Little Hope has some of the same flaws as Man of Medan, but I think the story is a lot more compelling.
Oh, what are the flaws in man of Medan?
@@massimobackwards terrible story, terrible characters for a start
@@massimobackwards Well this is all just my opinion of course, but I thought the biggest flaws in that game were the bland characters, predictable plot, cheap jumpscares around every corner, and the fact that you basically missed half the story unless you played with somebody else.
@@Solar-em2ld the only amazing character was the homie Conrad
@@massimobackwards man of medan was kind of boring compared to this game imo. It has a way better story, characters, and decisions. Huge upgrade from the first game.
for those who didn't understand: The driver was the boy who had his whole family killed by the fire in the house. He blamed himself for it all his life and in the end he can overcome this trauma
Best explanation 🙏🏽
But he did not cause the fire. It was Megan, his younger sister. He just thought he killed them all, but in fact, he did not.
@@janinawheeler-adams1251 major fax
How the other people from the 1600 has to do with anything?!
@@Neiydaa i dont think anything particular, but the asian judge is the same passerby that saw him with the matches at the beginning, and the police officer is in the 1600s as well.
Its sad that tanyas boyfriend just blames Anthony for just being the only one alive. Like he really had nothing to do with it he didn't know what to do either 😪 jeez
Its because he had matches in his hand
And he took the situations for face value. He was in hand cuffs at the funeral so "he must've done something". That's why I think in this game it just talks about forgiving since no one but Anthony knows the truth. Even then, he still blamed himself for it soo... idk
@@brycenstanhope2209 oh yeah ok but he didnt want to let him explain
@Nobody Nobody2 yeah i know
Also the ending where A says leave me alone I lost everything and Vince goes "you lost everything?" like dude yeah you lost your girlfriend but he lost his entire family. That just doesn't compare
"If we had children of our own none of this would happen"
So they're adopted?!
Yes. This is your homer simpson moment...DOH
Or they belong to one of the parents from a previous relationship. But yes I think they were most likely adopted.
No only megan is
i think so? not sure
@@datdefaultboi6779 they all are, hence why anthony reimagined his siblings dating . they had a secret relationship kept from angela who was the mother
alright. The fact that the dude has split personalities/ schizophrenia or whatever it is, that's cool. But the fact that he imagine his sister Tanya(Taylor) and his brother Dennis(Daniel) dating is disturbing me.
@Dior Linn but they have similar hair styles
@Dior Linn they're definitely the same... that's the whole point
I think they are all adopted ?! And Dennis didn't like Tanya's boyfriend, i think he was jealous and maybe he liked her. So it makes sense for Antony to create this image of them.
@@jaquelinelopes3080 yeah they were adopted! i definitely agree dennis seemed jealous of the boyfriend. i thought maybe it has racist undertones but after seeing the ending i think he was jealous.
@Dior Linn the eye color doesn't matter, it's still supposed to be the same person. they're "played" by the same person so no, the face is not different. they don't even look different. must be the hair throwing you off. also, they both die the same way (if you hang tanya, taylor gets her neck broke, if tanya gets set on fire, so does taylor). they're the same bro
That "???" moment at the judge somehow being Asian during the witch trials is actually a brilliant hint as to where this is going
it's not a ??? moment you see the asian guy at the start of the game. This game isn't clever the script is god awful and the story is somehow worse, why is everyone so unable to unwind this incredibly simple story? I don't mean to sound like a dick but this game was written by a child im pretty sure.
@@prawngravy18 “don’t mean to sound like a dick ” then proceeds to call everyone stupid 😂😂😂
@@prawngravy18 someone here has god complex
@@prawngravy18 "i don't mean to sound like a dick" way to phrase your entire comment in the most dick sounding way. You could've just said the writing was mediocre at best cause honestly it really was. I personally thought it was leading to a reincarnation story of them dying and being reincarnated. Literally the only good thing about this game is the visuals. Also no one called this game clever so idk why tf you brought that up as well??? Also I'd be very curious as to when YOU unwinded the story and realized wtf was happening and how it would end. Please enlighten me
@@prawngravy18 You're in heavy denial if you think the first game had better writing.
The curator said "forgive yourself"
He knows that Andrew is just hallucinating trauma from past and needs him to let go of his guilt because it's not his fault
Just move on
Andrew is not hallucinating, Anthony is hallucinating
@@Vishwamdamor7109 Funny thing is that Andrew is the hallucination version of Anthony
@@PadoruAlwaysComeBack yeah
Really cool when Taylor said "it's not your fault", in that exaact moment, Anthony got rid of his survivor's guilt
This had me crying, when he said we'll be fine while being driven off in the cop car. Mental illness is no joke, people actually go through shit like this. There's a really good movie directed in a similar way, t's called A Beautiful Mind. This game and that movie had me shook......
Yeah mental illness isn't a joke, so it shouldn't be used as a damn plot device to cover up shit writing. It cheapens it.
I think this game would be better if it involved supernatural stuff instead of a recycled plot twist from Man of Medan
@@Scripzure dude it’s a game holy shit 😂
I get to experience ppl who have mental illness and yeah it hurts seeing them. Some of their families leaves them in the facility :(( I almost cried when we had our goobyes to them...
@@Scripzure Um I think they tried, but miserably failed lol.
I really didn't expect that to happen. It was the bus driver all along. The accident wasn't his fault and those memories haunted him. It showed that his family will always be with him.
What just happened in this game? I don't understand what happened at all!
Kinda sad. He even made believe that his family was with him when driving the bus
So does saving the others matter
@@clementinetfsteam I highly recommend watching the beginning of the video. After the bus crashed, there's a flash back that would helps show why the ending made sense. After the flash back, then the present day story begins.
why does the guy from the bar blame him? He clearly didn't cause the fire in the house or did he?
I grew so much to liking these characters only to find out they weren't real in the end. That just hurt my heart.
*Basically the entire Danganronpa franchise.*
This is what the game is about. Antony believed they were real too :D
I killed them all, what is the point of saving them anyway?
@@SasNostalgia But they are real there. Only Chiaki. (Just to clear it out. I've only seen V1, V2 and Despair Girls I'm halfway through that. I Watched play all of that. For Despair Girls He's at the part where you climb down that Tower, Future Foundation Makoto Reveal. Man got real Emotional because of that Abuse scene.)
@@MariusBoss11458 I got news for you buddy. :-)
Who came here after Jack/Sean's bad ending? lmaoo
........
Me
Me lmao
He got a different ghost for Taylor than this video had!!!!
@@princessblackout that's because there's two ways Taylor can die in the house fire. Sean chose the drainpipe which made herself be hanged and in this video the player chose for her to go through the window instead which made her be burnt alive, hence why there's a different ghost/ghoul for Taylor compared to Sean's playthrough
I just realized after watching the good ending again after the twist that when Andrew says "But I didn't save you" he was talking about Meagan who couldn't save in the fire
No he meant Megan, who he could save from the priests abuse in 1971. Not the fire. She was being abused by the priest her mum (the one who died in the bathroom ) sent her to. That was her demon
@Isabeez all of that is Anthony imagining things. Even the "history of Little Hope" professor John hints at does not exist.
Anthony just loved reading about witches (like seen at the start of the game) which is how he got inspired with hallucinating witch trials
To summarize this: bad ending : do every bad choice/good ending: do every good choice/best ending: keep everyone alive and keep it balanced Edit: actually unlock there fears aka from choices you make
Like we never played man of medan
@Help Me no one was alive
@Help Me no that one screen stuff only
@Help Me else steam online
bruh...you don't say
To me it seems like all games of this series will revolve around one psychological aspect. Man of Medan was fear. Little Hope was guilt.
What about until dawn? Maybe it has something to do with Josh’s loss? Like revenge maybe. Revenge, fear, and guilt (idk if u watched until dawn either but I would recommend it and would say it’s my fav in this series so far!)
@@cassie.k007 Yes I did watch Until Dawn and I also think it is the best, but it is not part of the anthology so I dont think it thematically ties in.
But otherwise I think you are right and would maybe add actions and consequences to your list.
@@cassie.k007 I know there's supposed to be eight games. I wonder if there's some sort of link to the seven deadly sins? Or something similar.
@@alainaluu So far they have only announced 1 more game is this anthology. However, they could possibly make more.
@@cassie.k007 until dawn isn’t apart of the anthologies, its its own stand alone
"You guys are getting killed?!"
IM SO GLAD THAT THE ENDING EXPLAINS WHY THERES A ASIAN DUDE IN THE COLONIAL TIMES
i was thinking that i was like there's no way they're letting an asian dude be the judge in the 17th century
Ya I was confused about that too
Lmao was thinking the same thing
wasn't the guy that grabbed the main charecter in the prologue the same as the judge? I find interesting what that could of meant symbolically. Not a real answer to the question lol, but it's an observation.
@Rachel Garcia
Wait, what's the reason? I missed it.
me playing the game for the first time:
the police officer: you okay buddy you seem a little confused
Yeah i get that
I got the ending where no one survives
Him looking in the back going “yeah I doubt they will mind much” is when I realized the bus was empty.
But I was surprised to find people on the bus.
And it was weird . But it makes sense .
What don’t make sense is the bar tender (I forget his name and I don’t just wanna call him black guy) riding around on his bike at night and living in a dead town ._.
@@IZabellaArtZ the bar tender is tanyas boyfriend vince since anthony and him didnt die
I love the witch trials aspect to this game. They're a reflection of Andrew's guilt.
"But I didn't save you."
I still dont get what that line means..
Still would've liked it more if it wasn’t all in his head that feels like such a cop out
@@axiphermiik4390because they all died in the fire
no matter how the storry ends ... it is just sad, he lost his whole family and couldn't move a finger , whilst holding the matches in his hand
Ah, I understand.
Anthony/Andrew was a child when the house burned down, killing his whole family. Depending on if you light the Kettle or not depends on what ending you get. If you light the kettle Vince will think you committed arson and killed your family, if you don't he won't blame you. The Judge is the PASSERBY we saw at the start, hes the judge because if Anthony is holding the matches. He thinks you committed Arson, vise versa. Kinda fucked up, The bus driver was having hallucinations about his Family that died in the fire.
It actually also depends on whether you were mean or nice to Vince. If you attempted to shot the "monster" near Vince, then he'll also call you a murderer even if you didn't light up the kettle
@@loganreed9340 It does not matter whether you decided to shoot near him, if you choose the right dialogue options in the church he doesn't call you a murderer.
so to put it bluntly...that bus driver is Old Andrew?
I don’t get how lighting a kettle can make you guilty, by that logic we all could be murderers it just takes physics (burning falling doll) + unfortunate events
I thought you couldn’t decide if you wanted to light the kettle or not? How can you prevent that?
Just realized the “doubles” of the characters take the form of how they died in the house fire at the beginning of the game. The flashbacks to the Puritan times also resembles how the family died at the beginning
NO WAYY DUDE I JUST NOTICED THAT
The cool thing about this is taylor has two deaths and that's why she has two monsters version.
it's extremely obvious lol, literally look the same, die and kill in the same way.
Y'all just now noticing? After the entire theme of the game? xD
@Sasha_Jones there is a choice at the beginning where Anthony have to choose where Tanya would go in the blazing House to save herself, if you choose window to she will burn to death, if you choose the pipes she will hanged to death, that's why there is a two different type of monsters of Tanya.
Every single one of these endings makes me cry, even the "good" one. I think people are forgetting too that he was hallucinating before he even got to the town, so he still had some mental illness due to ptsd, but even still he got some closure by getting over his demons.
I love how Vince insists on following Andrew around all night and then doesn't like it when he keeps seeing him or when Andrew tells Vince to leave him alone.
You go from scared to sorry real quick, and you can never look at the game the same again. Then you realise that there are people across the globe living through this every day. Incredible game, and an even more incredible message.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Curator's cake like OMG HE THICK
edit: when I wrote this I didn't even know who Sean was so no, I don't come from his video hahahah
I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE like when he's turning around about to grab some book I was like DEMNNN
My husband and I were saying the same damn thing lol
Right????!!
YES HE ISSSS
IK AHAHAH EVERYTIME WHEN HE APPEAR I WAS DAM
All of the endings mean one thing: "No matter how much you want to change things, the past will stay the same." The "double" monsters just ensured it, no matter how hard Anthony tries to save them, or even imagines saving them; the past still happened, nothing can change that.
The bus company is Farriman- ferryman. He ended up back there to take the souls of his family where they were going, as he said. He took them through that town, which gave them a last chance at their final destination: redemption or damnation (depending on player choices).
The ending had my head spinning like what that’s just sad realistic he lost his family and he imagined his friends/family was right beside him but he was alone he basically went crazy and was just lost 😢
I CRIED like crazy tbh
@@shreksman8257 I was not expecting the ending to turn like that it was a good game it was definitely better then man if medan
@@harrison3432 Man of Medan is Underrated. All of them are fantastic! Of couse
@@Assassin199410 true but little hope was definitely better
@@harrison3432 Both are amazing the same way!
I actually really liked this, maybe more than Man of Medan. Very sad it's over, going to go watch like four different playthroughs of this.
Yea, I agree that its better than Man of Medan. The lore and setup makes everything more convincing and the twist at the end sure is both a surprising and heartbreaking, without feeling too much like a deus ex machina and it explained so much.
Yeah, I really didn't like Man of Medan, saying ''oh yeah all those jumpscares and monsters ? Just because you inhaled some shit'', it was a lame excuse. While here I really like how they put his past into that Mary, Amy,... And that ancient style.
I'm just kinda disappointed cause again, there was nothing surnatural and it was again ''all hallucinations'' but it was way better made than Man of Medan and made the story interesting from A to Z (I always waited for Mary's jumpscares to see the past). I thought that it was some kind of curse including 5 people who would die from the same deaths over and over again, no matter what they do
@@lcdc_azuralie Man of Medan is literally an exact copy of a movie called ghost ship. It's pretty pathetic.
@@lcdc_azuralie
Honestly, it's better than saying it's supernatural.
Man of medan is inspired by real events of the SS Ourang Medan, a ghost ship.
This is an interesting ending, but I kind of don’t want every Dark Pictures to be a real world thing disguised as supernatural stuff. It worked for me in Man of Medan, but this time I honestly would have preferred time loops to what we got. It makes sense and everything, but idk. I think I get now why some people felt let down by Man of Medan.
I honestly really liked this game because I felt like it was super real people who go through severe trauma really go through this kind of stuff and the fact that everything that you had done and everything that you went through was all in this guys head which is really scary and sad
And I’m pretty sure the whole thing was about him actually just trying to forgive his sister
No cap im sitting here like damnnn reincarnations, dope witch trial shit, doppelgangers, sick time loops, and it turns out to be a fucking sob story about schizophrenia fml
@@donmoez6289 Honestly I do agree with the confusion it was a huge slap in the face and it surprised me but I liked the idea of it cause I never expected it to be a all in your head thing but considering the last game was like that I should’ve expected it hahah
Though I do genuinely like the way this game was someplace I didn’t like but I did enjoy it end it made me feel extreme empathy for the main guy the fact that he couldn’t MoveOn after all those years after losing his family 🥺
@@donmoez6289 and whats wrong with thats this is definitely dark pictures best work as far as story as the story goes
@@dolph0w0 yeah i see how it is a sick story if u enjoy that kind of perspective, but im just sick of them reverting every twist to a real life ting
Felt like my choices didn’t amount to much when all the characters and demons weren’t real. Takes away a bit of the replay value.
this
Man of Medan had the same problem.
@@ShadowMancer97 i see what you mean but it's different with man of medan because those characters were real and could actually die, it was just the threats that weren't for the most part besides Olson
The takeaway from all this? Don't let some streamer's awful take ruin a game for you.
It actually does matter, not in the way you think it had less to do with the characters dying. More to do with Andrew, based on if he forgives himself or continues to blame himself or what happened to his family. And considering that Andrew can commit suicide in this games it's safe to say that yes, it didn't matter for those characters but most of those choices affect Andrew. May not be the thing you wanted but the choices do have impact.
I was like "Wait Vince could've recognized Taylor if he saw her, right?" Then I saw one of the endings and was like, "Ohhhhhh..."
I wonder what his Reaction would have been if he actually saw her. Maybe it was something like David's when he sees her. (In the Curator's cut you can be Daniel in the Church and have a 1600's thing again and Daniel's Double is happy seeing... His sister? I dunno. It feels more like Wife than Sister but I dunno. Wonder if Mary was Adopted too.)
Hi! so I just responded to a message explaining the conquering of the demons, and thought I’d put it on here as it’s own comment so In the game each character has to conquer their own demon. The hint is basically the “Bearings.” For “Team Taylor” Taylor must feel as if she is a part of the group, and then at the end of the game she has to tell whoever is trying to help her (Probably Daniel) to save themselves she has to face her own demon in the end. For Daniel his Bearing is “Home Grown Hero.” He has to do heroic actions like attacking his demon with a knife, saving Taylor etc. Then at the end he has to tell Andrew to save himself since once again Daniel has to face his own demon in the end. John’s Bearing is “Authority Figure.” He needs to be the leader and a role model to the group, and once again in the end he has to reject offers of help from Andrew. Angela’s confused me a little bit, but I think I get it. Hers is “Deeper Understanding.” She has to question everything. Be intrigued by her double, but she also has to understand the group’s emotions. Feel sympathy towards them, in the end she shouldn’t ditch John. Stick with him and stand against the demons. Last but not least Andrew. This ones easy. Just help him set Mary free. Condemn the priest the true evil. If you condemn Mary everyone will die no matter what. I haven’t tested the doll, and I know that if you condemn the priest everyone who conquered their demons will be safe. If a character failed to conquer their demon they will die no matter what.
Short Version:
1. Daniel has to be heroic.
2. Angela has to be understanding.
3. Taylor has to be apart of the group.
4. John has to be the authority figure.
And in the end you must choose the “Heroic” choice rather than “Fearful.”
Hope this helps.
Oh yeah also I forgot about Vince. Just be nice to him and don’t shoot near him.
Edit: Oh also one more thing I don’t think this is the best ending. One of the replies @Robyn Zero explains what I think is the best ending. I 100% think agree with them.
wow this is basically a guide on how to have a happy family where each member of the family has their own roles and responsibilities to keep the family peaceful.
Thank you for explaining:) just a small question: do you mean apart or a part?
There is also another possible ending, which is a secret one, but can be also considered a 'bad' one: to obtain it, Anthony should have a gun and pick every right choice with Vince so he forgives him and he doesn't end up in prison. Also, everyone has to die for it to unlock, and you should burn the doll instead of fucking the priest over, so I think you shouldn't let the characters conquer their demons, and as you said they'll die regardless in the end... thus re-enacting within the historical setting what actually happened to Andrew when the house burned down. To me, this sad ending is surprisingly fitting and ends up 'healing' Anthony anyway, because it's as if he accepts that he could do nothing to save his family and gets rid of his guilt, also accepting that they were flawed but that he loved them regardless. Most importantly, he gets to help and tell Mary/Meghan that he cared about her and that he understands what she felt and went through. When his guilt is too much and he's about to shoot himself like in the suicide ending, Mary/Meghan's memory hugs him and stops him. IMHO among all bad endings, this is by far the best one (also moving).

i agree w jack 💁🏻♀️ the ending was bad imo. left me disappointed. like, that’s it?
I finished the game yesterday and I loved the plot twist.
The thing that spotted me was the logo "Ferriman" on Andrews jacket. The ancient Greeks believed that all human souls went to the mythological underworld Hades.
Charon, a minor god, was given the task as the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the river Styx that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.
Atleast, this game has taught me that sometime reality can be so cruel and the most terrifying. I really sorry for Anthony and (little) hope that he can finally forgive himself and move on from his past.
In 1 ending... He gets better in 1 other but that is him realizing none of it was real and he's still sick
I wish you named or numbered all the endings or both.
Facts
fucking agree
The ending was kinda cop out ish, but when you really think about the witch trials and how they connect back to Anthony blaming his family for the fire, it's kinda great. That ending blew my mind 100%.
its tarsh
The one where he has to watch the entire group die at the same time in the house. Holy shit. lol.
So inside his head he was still blaming his sister, he either judge her guilty or innocent, he either forgive her or keep a grudge against her, where the existence of the trial. He either wants the guy who saw him with lighters, the judge, to know that it’s partially his sister’s fault if they died, he was tormented for years by his judgement, by everyone’s judgement. Because in the end he was the only one who knows why the fire grew. Mary doesn’t even appear in the group so it really was Andrew holding a final judgement about Mary, wether he hates her to the point of burning her or forgive her and letting go of all his negative emotions towards her...
Yeah that was the whole point of the witch trials you had an option to say it was the doll or say it was a priest by not choosing the doll you forgive her
But she is guilty!! The beginning is all true, and she locked her mom and the father. There is true evil there, and they all paid for it.
@@lilovs9952 Expect for we learn via notes and such that its the Reverend Carson's (the one from the 70s that the family went to for church) fault as he is a member of a satanic cult who pushes Megan (70's Mary) into a fearful state causing her to start the fire and kill her family. The doll represents her imaginary friend (the big demon-handed guy) that comes from the neglect/trauma she has going for her.
Can someone explain guys about vince and andrew in the funeral?
@@jam4678 Vince was Tanya’s boyfriend. Vince believed that, since Andrew was seen outside the house with matches on his hand, he had killed everyone in the house, including Tanya.
So apparently our main character, Anthony suffers ptsd because little sister or him (not certain yet) caused the fire which led to the death of all of his family. Anthony's 60 or so years later comes back to site where his family was killed or the town where he was at as a bus driver(explains the strange transformation of the student into the bus driver/anthony) in order to cope with his family's death and in order to forgive himself or his sister (whoever caused the fire) he creates a imaginary fantasy world where the students and professor with each character representing a significant character in Anthony life (little girl=little sister)
Most people forget the bus accident. Its not just PTSD, he also crashed his head against something and even forgets who he is.
I think he might have forgotten or mixed-up what have happened because it's not explained if the little girl was intentionally trying to kill them or if the girl just left her toy in the wrong spot
Alright, so this is the story: Megan, his little sister started the fire. She felt misunderstood, failed at school and obviously struggled with mental illness. She kept lashing out because of those reasons, and that's why her parents disciplined her in a rough manner (as you can see in the book found in the ruined house). They sought help from a priest (you know which one) but he only made matters worse as he was practicing occult/dark magick and it's implied he m*lested her. Megan, tormented by her inner demons (the demon you saw at the start) planned to kill her whole family. And did so. Not Anthony.
After the events, Anthony does suffer from severe PTSD, amnesia, trauma etc. To make matters worse, he was arrested and people thought it was his fault. So he goes back to his hometown, Little Hope, after crashing the bus and suffers from schizophrenia there where he imagines his deceased family members and gives them new names. He finds ways to blame people. That's what the witch trials represents. He starts with his mother, Anne (Angela), then Taylor, Daniel and eventually John, who all face their demons who represent how they died (Daniel's demons have spikes, he dies through impalement, Taylor's demon represents hanging or burning, depending on how you made her die at the start etc.) They all turn out to be innocent and wrongfully died for no reason. Until the story ends with Megan (Mary) who was the actual culprit and Anthony has the choice of either blaming her (burning her at the stake) or the priest. If you blame her, Mary will once again lash out, saying no one understands her and Anthony is just like the rest. If you blame the priest, Anthony knows he is the one who caused Megan to actually do what she did.
@@Hoosje11 Perfect
@@Hoosje11 finally, i couldnt really connect the priest with the rest
One thing I learned about this game's ending mechanic is to avoid negative traits getting locked when you're dealing with the conversation moments, else the character on which the trait gets locked will get killed by their monster version at the end no matter what choice you make from that point.
This is so much better than Man of Medan. The dialogues, the story telling, the narrative ... everything has been improved upon and I actually really enjoyed this game

@@iamspeed403 hello buddy :;D
This still doesn't explain the demon that was standing behind Meghan or who was talking to in the beginning of the game when you hear her voice as Anthony. I suppose we could say it was her "imaginary friend" since nobody else wanted to talk to her? Or, like the theme of the game has revealed, that it was her own psychological "demon" she was trying to confront....which, unfortunately, in the end, won out, thus her setting the house on fire.
Actually, the prologue we see is Anthony's dream, so its his point of view. He sees a demon because he doesnt want to be blamed for his family's death, so he tries to blame it on his little sister and some kind of supernatural stuff.
@@TheIceFlowe Meghan locked the door on his mom and took the ladder down too tho
@@snooopypp2676 another good explanation would be that Meghan was abused by the reverend/priest, so he made her do bad things, and the demon behind her is his influence.
@@TheIceFlowe I personally don't think it's a dream at all
It was Anthony's dream and his point of view of the matters. The truth is that Meghan was abused by Carver just like Mary. Anne says that the reverend had held her back for a long time after church hours on Sundays. Meghan was not bad at all it was just how Anthony thought it was. The demon behind her was also on Anthony's imagination. He was the one who lit the fire and he might have pushed the blame on to his sister because he felt guilty. The doors of their house were faulty at the start they jammed due to the snow. So, Tanya got locked out like that, we see that Daniel's ladder shakes by itself not because of Meghan and the mom could have just locked herself in the bathroom. Now, after all these years Anthony wants to do justice to his sister cause he feels that she might not be the reaosn why it all happened and he understands that the reverend was the true evil. He connects his personal story to the witch trial because we know that Little hope is a place known for that and he was also reading a book about witch trials at the beginning. The curator had pointed out so many times that our own demons are inside us. It was the biggest hint of the whole game.
You know, I've been wondering. Just what right does Vince has to shout at the guy? He wasn't the one that lost his entire family. He saw the guy literally run into a burning house to save his family in vain. Like, how much did you lost in comparison to him?
Vince sucks.
The frontal lobe plays a big part in the capacity for empathy, and a sloped forehead like Vince's thus makes it less plausible for him to be empathetic. Don't blame him, blame biology.

Where he says sorry, and all of them supporting him and forgiving, just for the reveal to happen, and then saying the best line in the whole game "I just wish we all could have made it"
It made me shiver, him knowing that they love him even after they died, him being real with his guilt and his sadness to know that he misses them (not being toxic positive, or depressive), and that they dont blame him is something I resonated a lot with.

@@orang9134 best plot ive seen in a while ngl
@@f1re_one346 Truly? It was all a dream is extremely overused.
Hol' up wait a minute
Something ain't right !
@@bigbadwolf3199 ik its overused, but it was used well in this game. Its was not the type of the ending when the protagonist wakes up from bed and was everything a dream. In this game, the fire where all is family died was real, and that explain the trauma the andrew had, he cant forgive himself for causing the death of his family making him imagine stories, magic and people (so it wasnt his fault) and making him kill himself (in the worst ending). The opinion on the ending depends from person to person
From what I can gather, none of the prologue is a hallucination. That would mean Megan was genuinely communing with a demonic entity due to her feelings of isolation, and that led her to start the fire. And that Vince does have a genuine interest in the occult (and his Sun medallion ties into Anthony's hallucinations, since they're all warped from reality).
And honestly? I think that makes the "so he was actually crazy" twist MORE brilliant. In Until Dawn, the plot is kicked off by a genuinely mentally ill person's plans of vengeance, only to be subverted by actual supernatural monsters. That would make this story a brilliant reversal: the supernatural element is real but basically has no role in the main plot, instead being subverted by an unwell man's survivor's guilt.
I disagree, I mean, “it was an hallucination” is so tired and often extremely ableist. Not all subversions are good. This one was pointless and made the plot less interesting (as you said, evidence shows the prologue _did_ involve demons).
@@DeathnoteBB yea demons were not involved in any way shape or form they honestly just threw that in to confuse people probably
I honestly thought the family was stuck in some sort of hell loop where they die in similar fashions as to how they previously died over and over again and Andrew somehow survives and has to witness it all over again.
I thought the endings were fine. I get where it can seem ableist but to me it felt like a nice story and interesting perspective on some mental illnesses or trauma experiences. You save characters by remembering their good attributes (redeeming them in game) and move on by forgiving Megan for causing the fire (not condemning Mary). I struggle with PTSD and these endings shows to me how it can seem unreal or “like a dream” to others, but to you the hallucinations or symptoms, etc are very real. Your perceptions still shape your reality.
I think the prologue was from Anthony's perspective, he says to the other characters in the beginning he had a weird dream, that's why we see Megan seemingly be influenced by some otherworldly spirits. There was a lot of supernatural literature in the family home, which Anthony uses as an excuse in his psyche as the reason the house burnt down with his family, I don't think he fully accepted it and was in the full stages of denial/trauma/ptsd. It reminded of the film Shutter Island in a way.
The flashback was Anthony’s dream after the crash, so it’s very likely it isn’t 100 percent what happened in reality. Very likely Megan was schizophrenic, and since Anthony didn’t understand it back then, he must have rationalized it as Megan talking to a demon.
This game really unique like how after you finish it you can no longer see it the same way as the first time you played it. Really spectacular story telling portrayed in a great way
Anthony really went “colonial OC’s for me and the fam ☺️💕✨”

I still feel Until Dawn is their best work, just the way they handled everything was perfect! their other projects though including this one as always the ideas are great and interesting but execution not so much.
One thing I learned about these devs is they just like psychological warfare. In Until Dawn it’s about (I forget his name) but the guy who’s sisters were killed and he’s suffering from ptsd & schizophrenia (I forget if it’s both or just one, it was a long time ago) and he starts to blame himself for his sisters’ deaths. In man of Medan, everyone is going crazy cause of the gas/chemical and think there’s actual treasure but they end up getting killed (or not) because they start hallucinating. And in this one, it’s all about Andrew/Anthony and his ptsd after thinking he’s the cause of his family’s deaths
Yeah, but at least in Until Dawn, there actually WAS an element of the supernatural and it wasn't a bait and switch for mental issues. I mean, it's clever, don't get me wrong, but after this second one it's a sure bet that the last one will have a mundane explanation for all the spooky stuff happening. Kinda kills the suspense if you know that events are someone's hallucinations.
You're thinking of Josh
Spoilers for Until Dawn
I love how there is no good ending for Josh, the only endings for him are to die or become a monster himself
@@sunnywhite196 At the start of Little Hope, I went "well Man of Medan faked out the supernatural elements, if this one does the same I'll be pissed". Then it did. It'll make the third game even harder to believe now.
@Trajan the Great I think all of the Dark Pictures Anthology are going to be in the same vein. Something psychology based that can explain the spooky supernatural stuff as mundane and easily explainable, if no less horrible. Now that we know what to expect from the last couple of games, all we have to figure out is how they're going to explain it away as "it's all in your head" in the next....six games or so? So it's not like we won't have any mystery to solve. We'll just know that the horror isn't going to be anything supernatural.
@@sunnywhite196 Personally that ruins a lot of the enjoyment of the games for me. If that's fine with you, fair enough, but now that I know there is a formula it's a lot harder to be invested. Especially as the characters, dialogue and gameplay so far haven't very compelling, so you haven't got other things to focus on.
The similarities of the deaths shouldve been a hint all along.
John - crushed like his dad.
Taylor - burned likr his sis

Whether people like the ending or not to this story I gotta admit it’s the story that hit me in the feels the most because of how depressing it is no matter the ending you get.
23:33 gotta love how those forehead wrinkles just pop into existence
So the game won't go deeper into the fact that the lil girl at the beginning had a demon on her side and cause the burning and also locked all other family members up in their room?
LITERALLY LIKE WTF
I'm really mad lol
Yeah still confused about tht maybe the little girl had schitz
it was meant as the girl was always being shunned and ignored so in his mind to make himself feel like it was out of his hands he imagined megan as the culprit
I'd say she is schizophrenic. Now, I don't know how academically successful schizophrenic people are, but I assume they aren't that good and Megan's grades were awful. She also locked the doors behind Tanya and Anthony while locking their brother in the attic before burning the house. Anthony probably assumed she was controlled by the devil since he is into that occult stuff.
Hmmmm so the real world explanation seems to be our character suffers from some sort of ptsd or scitz. Just like how the last one wasn't ghosts but chemical fumes but this one seems to be a mental disorder instead of witchcraft monsters makes you wonder what kind of theme they'll go for next and its logical explanation

True. I was just trying to attach all The thing. But You are right there bro.
@@ArrozTioPelon I get what you mean but to be fair were both right in a sense being yes his family died in the fire and that probably caused a sort of ptsd response in his brain to remake them in a more modern way
Or maybe he was haunted and followed by the ghosts of his family after the incident and his mission on this journey is to find final destination to the soul, with some recreation of the souls identity, for there's some believes that souls forgot their original identity as human life. The main character could've just pretend with a identity matched up with the souls new identity. With some creepy item in this town like the book about witch and how abandoned and looks haunted this town, the game kinda want the player to think that the ending is still can be related to paranormal twist ending. But, to be honest, that psychological twist ending is the first thing I thought of
I had so many theories throughout this story; timelines of past multiverse, present multiverse and future multiverse merging. Little Hope being purgatory, and the doppelganger monsters being their demons coming for them to bring them to hell and Andrew being their guardian angel. But I do like the ending we got, that it's Anthony suffering from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), and developing DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), to cope with his past trauma of losing his family in a fire, and his mind creating a different reality. Man, this story was amazing.
It's very Silent Hill 2 like.
Anthony's story was sooo sad. I loved the twist ending, i wasn't expecting it at all and I'm so excited for the third game!!
When a bus driver looks for the bus driver.
Okay, I'm going to present a pretty dumb theory that may be wrong, but also wouldn't invalidate the idea of saving everyone. (As well as provide an explanation for moments where the party split up).
I think there actually WAS a supernatural component to the story. I only just finished the game (incidentally, the other survivors in my playthrough were John and Angela), so I may be remembering a few things wrong.
Near the beginning, one of the characters (I think it was Daniel) presented the idea that they were all already dead. In addition, during his monologue at the end, the Curator said "some found redemption, some didn't". I also can't help but suspect that there was significance to Andrew/Anthony hearing the whispers of the other characters in the end.
Part of me suspects that we were in fact playing as the souls of the people who died in the fire that burned down the Clarke household. Their "survival" means they have overcome their flaws and can pass on peacefully, whereas their "deaths" means they have succumbed to their flaws and thus have been condemned to hell.
I may be wrong. Maybe it really is just one big hallucination. But there are a few plot holes here and there, and this theory of mine does present an explanation...
I agree with this!! The Curator even says that if they do die, they're condemned to a fate "worse than death." I think that whether or not they get out of the house is representative of whether or not they remain trapped in Little Hope forever!
That's what I thought! I was pretty sure that these incarnations happened for real because all these characters in their first life died horribly and before dying they deeply hated Marry, as she accused them in witchcraft, so their soles became restless full of hatred for that girl, that's why in next incarnation they still hated her inside and blamed if opportunity given, aside from Andrew, he was kind to her, because he never died in previous life because of her. So I really thought that driver Andrew without knowing delivered their soules to Little hope so that they could go through trials and forgive Merry. That actually sounds so much better than...what we got....I mean, now it really does seems that Andrew came up with all that shit in his head, take an asian judge for example....that's basically the dude who accused him of burning his family in prologue >___
I think it was all in his head, the curator was pushing for imagined redemption and forgiveness as a way to move on, basically being a psychiatrist. People who keep holding grudges and blame against others just hurt themselves.
I like this theory. Anthony is real and dealing with trauma, and the other characters are ghosts in pergatory.
Sorry for bad languange of my english...
The story is ...
Anthony was born in Little Hope ... He has a Family ... Tanya , Denise , Anne , James , And Megan ... Tragicly his house its burned by burning doll that Megan put it ...In Here i see Megan was very dissapointed by her broken home family and we can see that Megan did nothing , let her and family being died, but luckily Anthony has save himself from this accident and get out of the town
Year has been change ... And he is 45 i think ... He is a bus driver now and back to the home town when police ask him for detour to little hope ... Then, When he loss controll of driving by seen His Little Sister, His bus is Crash and this accident hit his head so hard and His mind is little broken of some short amnesia and replaced by his imagination (Illusion of past)
And The Old Century of 1899 (Correct me if im wrong) ... This is the urban stories of Little Hope ... Maybe this urban stories was telling by his dad or mom when Anthony is a child... maybe ... and he believe with that ... It explains why we seen Old Century , Another Version Of His Famillies and Ghost... But this thing is never existed (Only in his mind)
Andrew , John , Angela , Daniel and Taylor is another version of his imagination ... He want to create another version of his family then he mixed in his imagination about past so he feels never be alone again (and Old Century that he imagine ... Of Course)
And In The End... Anthony realized that he wasnt accept for his own Family being dead by the tragic accident in the past...At Last , now he back to the reality and he realized that The Past cannot be changed ... Its sad story ...
All correct but it was 1692
While I hate the whole "OoooOoooOO nothing was real" narrative, at least the no realness had some sort of meaning behind it.
To be honest, maybe I don't really understand. Appreciate it if someone can explain it to me. I know Vince is Tanya's boyfriend but how dare he be so rude to Andrew/Anthony? Like he literally just watches 4 family members died right in front of his eyes. And vince be like OUHH YOU THOUGHT YOU LOST EVERYTHING, I WONT FORGIVE YOU. Like bruhhhhh anthony/andrew obviously suffer more but why vince wanna make it seems like he's the one hurting the most.
I think so
In the prologue the neighbour caught Anthony holding matches right at the moment where the house engulf in fire. So maybe Vince accusing Anthony burning his whole family, so that's why he said "You thought you lost everything?" Cuz in Vince's perspective Anthony incinerated his whole family
Vince blamed him for the family's death, especially he was accused of arson and murder, which strengthen his anger towards anthony
Late response, but I think Vincent will act differently towards Andrew/Anthony based on you act towards him. Dialogue choices and if you acquire a gun and shoot at a monster behind him he thinks you are trying to kill him. If you don't do those and have 'good' dialogue with him then he will be nicer to him. And get the good/best ending. People accused Andrew/Anthony of the fire because he had matches and was outside so at face value it looks like he did it. He also told Tanya to either go down the drainpipe or go back inside the house, which someone would argue he killed her when both options were kind of bad. And that Andrew/Anthony was really trying to save her. Plus a lot of people want to blame someone when something bad happens, but sometimes accidents happen it's not something that brings everyone comfort.
I read something about Vince's father dying in the house fire when he went in to rescue Andrew/Anthony. So if that's correct Vince lost both his girlfriend and his father in a fire that he may or may not believe Andrew/Anthony caused.
For some reason, Daniel and Taylor died with me before they left the house at the end.
(I know why, if you call for help when you're monster is attacking you, you die on the house)
(Another edit)
All deaths are from the elements.
Water: Angela
Fire: Tanya
Air: Daniel
Earth: John
Yeah if you call for help while the demon is attacking you. The demon will kill that character at the end
I literally lost EVERYONE at the end. I was like WHAT HOW. Guess next run I'll stay silent for the monsters. Got a trophy for it though.
Why the hell does that happen? Like that seems like some BS
it doesn't make any sense to me , why do your character should die just for asking for help. is there an explanation for this ?
@@joansman1 maybe because if you are fearful your character dies? Idk
I liked 10 minutes ago when i didn't know that everybody died.
I think him, hearing the word "Little Hope" brought back the trauma and regrets (most likely, survival regret - regret felt by those who're the only ones to survive something traumatic and the other people with him/her died) to the surface that's why he looked "confused" in the beginning when the officer was talking to him. His head is trying to create different scenarios where he can have a chance to save his family members again and have the hope that, this time, he will be able to. And probably his mind's way to cope with the intense regret, anxiety, and stress.
The moment when you realize the bus driver had some mental disorder and the beginning is where his family dies. I also notice how the deaths in little hope relate to how the family died in the beginning. One was crushed, one burned alive, another impaled and finally the last one included how one couldn’t breathe.
Also if you try to help Taylor and you tell her to go from outside, she hang herself with her scarf.
Holy shit after reading a lot of these comments it makes sense now
Was this... hard to understand? Like, it took you a while to get that?
Hey it cost you nothing to not be mean
Wyatt L, Imean you literally have the bring everything you’ve experienced in the game together and figure out how it all ties together from analyzing from the beginning towards the ending instead of just looking at TH-cam video and watch someone else explaination and go “oH hOw LoNg It tOoK u To FiNd tHiS” after literally reading only one comment that summarizes the whole entire plot.
The people get killed like Anthonys family and the people in the past get also killed like that.
Tanya even have 2 deads, cuz you decides how she will die at the beginning > Strangled or burned. So thats decides how the Tanya from the past will die.
Daniel guy was
impaled by a fence, so the monster impales him - the guy out of the past was also impaled.
Mother/Angela
suffocated - The Angela from the past also kinda suffocated
Dads bones were chrushed. Also the bones from the professor - annnnnnnnnnnnnd soooo the dude from the past.
if you would have noticed that earlier you might have been able to link that together and kinda get the plot twist.
Uff. Lol. Not noticed that.
yea and the chains on angela sorta signify being locked in the bathroom
@@thundabird also Megan was the one that started the fire which caused everyone to die apart from Anthony and Mary also caused everyone to die because of the rumours and Abraham also never died
i noticed and still didn’t catch the twist😭😭
@@chychy0326 I assumed it was some kind of curse, making then reincarnate to relive a tragedy over and over. Instead.....
I'm not really a fan of "it was all in their head/it was all a dream" endings, but I do think this was handled better than most stories that follow the same trope. The idea that the events stemmed from trauma and guilt is a very interesting concept. It does a good job tying the story together. The trials that falsely accuse people of being witches is a reflection of Anthony bring falsely accused of starting the fire.
The storyline was great,but I honestly can't feel the ending,its kinda sad that none of the characters we're real and it seemed like a waste of time for me to play this game...
*Good Endings:* 10:38 26:11
Thanks
I don’t care about what you, the player had to do to get it, but the ending where everyone dies in front of you and you’re peaceful with Vince is the GREATEST ending I wish I had. The plot twist being revealed like that would have made me so emotional.
But no, I thought I was saving Vince and I burned the fecking doll.
Thankfully I got that ending
At the start of the game, you can see that the family is in conflict because of the behavior of the characters, it's why you have to make them change, to become better persons to fix the family's problems. And if some characters can't change, they die at the end.
